smurfette Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 8 years ago we welcomed this handsome boy in our pack. Andy aka Riot Officer was returned by his first family because they were afraid he would attack them. And he would have. They were not evil people but as first time dog owners they couldn't handle him. They made first time owner mistakes another dog would have just shrugged off. But Andy became more and more insecure and therefor dangerous. He was a bite first, ask questions later kind of dog. We needed some time (years) to overcome these obstacles but he learned to trust and turned into this beautiful soul in this no longer jet black fur with this sweet tuxedo markings. I learned a lot about behaviourism, trust and how to lead. Andy walks off lead most of the time not only because of his age and neurological condition but also because one day (when he was younger) he chose to follow me. Of course he was still a keen hunter and I had to be very focused on our walks. Happy Gotcha Day, my sweet Andy. Quote Sorry for butchering the english language. I try to keep the mistakes to a minimum. Nadine with Paddy (Zippy Mullane), Saoirse (Lizzie Be Nice), Abu (Cillowen Abu) and bridge angels Colin (Dessies Hero) and Andy (Riot Officer).
